One thing we can do is build a hydro electric dam‚ in the Amazon‚ which would provide much cheaper and more environmentally friendly electricity for these people. Once the dam is built the energy is virtually free meaning that if we sell the area to a company and they build the dam the electricity will cost very little or if we build it ourselves it will be free electricity for the people. Finally I would

Alternative energy resources What are Alternative energy resources?? It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. It is a form of energy derived from a natural source‚ such as the sun‚ wind‚ tides‚ or waves and are also known as “Renewable Energy” that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. What Energy Resources

renewable energy as a subject and it unlimited abundance source of clean energy system the world could use. Tidal power has great potential for future power and present energy consumption because of the massive size of our oceans. Using a combination of dams‚ fences‚ and turbines‚ many countries are utilizing the almost untapped resources of inexhaustible tidal power. Created due to the gravitational forces of the moon‚ the tides of the day are highly predictable and can be used incredibly efficiently

there was some evaporation during heating. Once the gel had cooled ‚ it was poured into the plate between the rubber dams. The plate was filled about half way up the comb arms. These dams are placed in the plate to prevent leaking. Then the gel was added and allowed to compeletly soiditify‚ which takes around 20mins. Preparing the Gel for Electrophoresis Once the rubber dams have been removed ( carefully) ‚ the comb was then removed. Then the buffer was made. The buffer was made by using

and use natural stabilizing techniques for the bank such as planting vegetation. Other goals include reducing riverbed degradation from dikes and allowing sediment to flow naturally down the Mississippi. The floodplains should be reintroduced and the dams should allow more water and sediment to flow through naturally. If the restoration strategy focuses on these goals‚ then the lower Mississippi Delta ecosystems should be restored‚ resulting in improved habitats‚ increased sediment flow‚ and riverbed
